The bathroom sink leaked terribly, the bed had a LIVE spider under the comforter and there were cigarette burn marks in the blankets. Lady at the front desk was nice though. This is definitely a one night stay place if you need something cheap for the night.

Great place to stay !

The host was super nice and accomodated our needs/request for an extension cord and help to print something. The beds were super comfortable and clean. I was especially grateful for the hot water since many places don't have that. The location is close to restaurants and stores.

Quick sleep

It was a small quaint room. We stopped to sleep for the night. So it met our needs. But the toilet seat was loose. It was a quiet place.

The place where I stayed was not clean those cracks the Walls bathroom doors broke the shelf in the bathroom was pitiful. I would not recommend that motel for anybody. I guarantee you I checked out earlier than planned. I travel with Expedia I would not recommend them to my worst friend worst enemy or anybody or family. This place is not fit for a dog seem to think of this. There was a dog next-door to barked all night long. You asked for the truth you have the truth thank you very much for your time. Bye.

The staff were very helpful, friendly and easily accessible. The room had a nice size refrigerator and a microwave. There was an available four slice toaster, microwave and ice maker in the office, there was also a coffee machine but it was out of order. The price was very affordable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good: Hot water in the shower, TV worked, relatively warm in the room. Bad: Manager left us outside in the freezing cold to get checked in (bizzaro), asked for a non-smoking room but she thought I said smoking room. She said go ahead and smoke everyone else does. I corrected her and she said, no you have a non-smoking room, the others are smoking room - did a poor job of lying. Placed needed some maintenance.

Extremely dated, in need of maintenance and serious upgrades This would make a great boutique hotel if they would put $$ and effort into it. Room was clean in comparison to the overall condition . Front desk/office was not open as posted.
